Aviation Weather - Ground School

  • Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
  • Note: This was a first attempt at recording a safety seminar, the audio quality is not great, and the audience was not mic'd, but... the information is fundamental and is a great primer for both Private and Instrument students, or an old dog needing a refresher! Originally presented Feb-2014
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Original Description:
    A free ground school seminar presented by Jonathan Walter of Walter Aviation Inc., covering basic aviation weather. Part of a series of free ground schools offered to pilots and public alike.
    First attempt at offering these ground schools online live via a webinar format.

      Where on Earth did you attend College? This Instructor desperately needed to have written a Script ! Discursive and rambling narrative. Sorry. Thumbs down.
      Read, yes actually Read, the Iowa State University Press book entitled "Aviation Weather" which is the definitive course. Period.

    This is a great video. Very informational. As a former Air Traffic Controller you are absolutely right about the controllers are there to ensure your safety and there to help. If someone isn’t comfortable with talking to ATC practice practice practice because nothing is scarier for a Controller and other pilots around when someone comes into an airspace that isn’t familiar with using the radio or just fails to make simple radio calls.

    Terrific video, covers a lot of ground. For me this represents a real breakthrough in understanding hi/lo pressure areas. Also the practical tips like walking us newbies through Flight Services call are really great. My only suggestion: now that ForeFlight is so good and so universal, it would be great to compare/contrast the resources in the App with other weather chart resources. Thanks very much for producing this.
